Chickens drinking from guinea pig water bottles??

[billyb]

is it true that they can?

 

[Tressa27884]

yep. but until they're using it reliably don't let that be your only water source.

 

[billyb]

Ww! Howdo I even get them to start or show them how??

 

[billyb]

I ment to say wow...

 

[Zoomom]

Hang up the water bottle, then cluck at them/call them over as if for a treat and tap the nozzle so they see the water come out. Once one gets it, the rest will follow.

 

[billyb]

Thanks. And I know all of them got it, can I take the gallon chicken waterer out and have a few water bottles instead??

 

[Tressa27884]

I'd feel safe doing that, if you have plenty of water bottles for them you should be fine....

 

[Cebarmlds]

I'd like to use these bottles but can ACV be used in them? the spout is metal right? would it corrode?

 

[billyb]

oh yeah, that's right! Can the medacine I put in their water got in the water bottle without ruining the medal? I'm not worried about the water bottle I can go buy another one. But, will it hurt my chicks if it corrode?
